The sound you are hearing is most likely the CPU temp alarm.
I know the board has a problem with with APM (Power Management). I you
have APM compiled in your KERNEL (even if you are using the APM features)the
board will use certain APM features. For example my board used to go to
SLEEP and even after waking it up through by pressing any key on the
keyboard, the network card (a tulip based card and a 3COM 90x card) would go
to sleep and would not respond until I would PING some other machine.
I was told that I should make sure that APM was not compiled in my KERNEL
since the BP6 had problems with this feature. It does not matter what your
settings are in the BIOS
Hope this helps, I have been running my BP6 as a WEB SERVER and mail server
24x7 for 90 days nonstop. I do not run X very often. I use KERNEL 2.2.13
with the HPT patch

Subject: [LINUX-ABIT] FW: BP6 beeping and fans stopping
Howdy,
I've got a problem that I'm trying to find information on. I'm running a
BP6
motherboard with two 400 Mhz Celerons in it, using linux 2.2.13 (ide/dma66
patches
applied to use the HD366 controller)
In any case, after the system runs for awhile, it begins making a dual-toned
sound. I'd heard sounds like that from other machines when the CPUs got
hot, so, investigating inside the case, the fans on both CPUs had stopped
(stock 2-wire celeron fans, I'm not overclocking)... upon reboot, the fans
restarted and the beeping stopped. The system again would run, then after
awhile fan0 would stop, and shortly after, fan1.
I checked the bios, and found one reference to fans under APM, which I'm not
using... although the BIOS for some reason is not displaying internal temps
or fan tach or anything -- that area (which shows that in the manaul) is
blank on the actual bios screens.
I can hack the fans to simply use the +12v supply from one of the HD
connectors, but would rather continue to use the headers on the MB. Any
suggestions on how to keep the fans from stopping? I suspect the windows
tool fixes this on windows, but under linux I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Gary
